In my opinion, Mr Sam Cohen of IHRB is the Lance Armstrong of the hair-loss industry. We heard how Armstrong kept denying everything for years; until he spilled the beans to Oprah. Mr Cohen seems to operate within the same kind of delusional framework. His fanciful explanation of what happened, seems to know no limits. […]

In this radio interview, Fair Trading Commissioner Rod Stowe tells 2UE Radio that Mr Samuel Cohen not only lied to the Tribunal, but also tried to mislead Fair Trading investigators in an attempt to throw Fair Trading Investigators off the track.

Despite being told to stop publishing those unlawful, misleading, and unverified advertisements, IHRB has accelerated its claims through bolder statements that are worse than ever.

It comes as no surprise that Sam Cohen of IHRB has removed his email address from his home-page and from his advertisements. It would be my guess that he is trying to avoid putting anything in writing, because it invariably comes back to bite him. Any legal battle with Sam Cohen comes down to […]

The Australian Financial Review reported about a 30 year old man who ‘claims his life went awry after taking Propecia to treat his hair loss.’ The paper added, ‘Kevin Malley says a hair-loss treatment his doctor recommended has brought on debilitating sexual side effects.’ Propecia and Proscar are brand names for the medication called Finasteride.

In 2007, the Complaints Resolution Panel reminded Mr Sam Cohen of IHRB that all advertisements for therapeutic goods must first be approved, and must display the APPROVAL NUMBER. Mr Cohen never sought approval, and he ignored the law. Then in 2011, the Panel found IHRB in Breach of the Act, and told him to stop […]
